Adam "Pacman" Jones is apologizing for his actions following his Jan. 3 arrest.

His attorneys, Timothy E. Schneider and Alex Triantafilou, released a statement hours after Cincinnati police released cruiser camera video of Jones yelling and shouting at his arresting officer.

The statement reads:

"Adam Jones is deeply embarrassed and remorseful for his conduct and language after being arrested in early January. Mr. Jones has the utmost respect for law-enforcement and the difficulties police encounter on a daily basis.

As it relates to the allegations, and upon advice of counsel, Mr. Jones will not be commenting upon legal proceedings at this time. Mr. Jones is committed to the process of counseling and anger management, in order to ensure that such situations never occur in the future.

Adam loves Cincinnati and considers it home. He sincerely apologizes to the officers, the Cincinnati Bengals organization and all the fans in Cincinnati."

In the video, you can hear Jones threatening to get Sgt. Cotton fired and saying he hopes Cotton dies the next day.

The video is over 20 minutes long. The attached clip has been edited extensively due to explicit language.

"I hope you die tomorrow," Jones said.

"(Deleted), you're going to be out of a job tomorrow! (Deleted) (deleted) (deleted). You dead (deleted) wrong."

The Cincinnati Bengals also released a statement regarding the starting cornerback's behavior:

“We are extremely disappointed with Adam’s behavior. The behavior in the video is not what we expect from our players. The Club is aware that Adam has put forth his own apology, however, we also offer an apology to the public and to our loyal fans."

Police said Jones, 33, yelled and banged on a glass door at a downtown hotel and cursed at and pushed a security guard and poked him in the eye. Jones also kicked the arresting officer, police said.

Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office officials said Jones was combative throughout the booking process, and eventually had to be secured in a restraint chair.

He was later charged with a felony when, deputies at the Hamilton County Justice Center said, he spit on a nurse.

He spent one night in jail, and has since been released.

The court case for Jones is on hold until next month.

A Hamilton County judge on Friday continued the case to Feb. 10. Prosecutor Joe Deters has said he wants to know first what punishment Jones faces from the NFL. Jones' attorneys agreed to waive his right to a speedy trial.
